You have two?
One is right behind the engine, You can get to it from the top.
The other is right behind the cat, It'* from the bottom.
There'* a special socket, Pretty cool too, Like $8 tho.
Make sure you use that thread stuff, When you forget you might as well just weld the sendor in.

If your milage is roughly 18-20 in town and 28-32 on the road, Then I'd say you can leave it alone for now...
But on the same note if the car has 50,000-60,000 miles or more than the sensor may be costing you a little milage... We do reccomend replacing the sensor between 50-60K just as
a preventative measure... Usually we will see a complaint about horrible gas milage tho...

yeah it says the anti seize needs to be electrically conductive, it says something about it having glass beads in it...when it heats up whatever else is in it burns off and the glass beads stay...thats obviously not an exact quote...just me trying to remember
